April 29, 20251 yr Hello, I've migrated from 6.12 on one box and moved to a completely different server (and upgraded key at the same time). When making my array on this 7.1.0-beta 2 version, all is fine, VMs/Shares/Docker works flawlessly. However, when updating the OS to anything past or before this 7.1 beta, my cache drives assign correctly, the parity drive assigns correctly, but none of my data drives are able to be assigned. It shows the wrong identifier. The first 2/3 shows correctly (and matches the 7.1b2 install), The RC3 install appends more numbers onto the end, making the drives unable to be assigned. I'm okay with staying on this beta release, but, I'm afraid that when 7.1 stable releases, I won't be able to mount any of my data. Attached is a diag zip from 7.1b2, a screenshot of the drive IDs on 7.1 and a screenshot of RC3 to show the different IDs. I will also attach a diag zip of rc3 to maybe help show more differences. Thanks, Fletcher galaticpotato-diagnostics-20250428-1912(b2).zip galaticpotato-diagnostics-20250428-1930(rc3).zip
April 29, 20251 yr Community Expert You are using a RAID controller, those are not recommended, and can have sometimes haves issues when there are driver changes, but in this case, and assuming only the IDs changed, you should be able to recover by doing a new config and re-assigning all the devices as they were using the new name, you can "check parity is already valid" before array start, any issues after array start post new diags.
April 29, 20251 yr Author I am technically using a raid card, but, in IT mode. Just about the only way this c220 m4 can handle it's drives. As far as assigning a new config, I can try that later this afternoon and report back. Thanks for the advise!

I just remoted in and instead of being in IT mode, it is in JBOD mode. I can still see drive serial numbers and SMART data along with drive temps. I'm assuming that the megaraid drive is just causing me issues with everything but 7.1 beta 2?
April 29, 20251 yr Community Expert Correct, and that driver is not as well tested as the mpt3sas driver, so it's more prone to issues.
